At the time of writing my article on the bass shakers I was powering them with the weak amp, it later got replaced with my Outlaw 1050 (60 watts per channel) when I got my Outlaw 950/7100 combo. I've also been in several other theaters that use Aura Bass Shakers as well so I know very well what they are capable of. I didn't pay full price for my Buttkickers, I got all three of them for $240. While I had a lot of fun with my Auras they are not even in the same league as Buttkickers. It's like comparing a Boston Acoustic speakers to Wilson Audio speakers, sure the Bostons get the job done just fine and sound good but they simply don't compare. If you're happy with your Aura bass shakers that's great. I was very happy with mine as well but the Buttkickers are simply in a different league. If you've ever got an opportunity to check them out, you should. Cheers, Moe Joel, You sure make a lot of assumptions in your comment.

The three Buttkickers have 1100 watts (350w each) and you fed your two Aura shakers a paltry 20w -- in series, which is more like 10 watts each. They can handle MUCH more power than the 25w they're rated for. I have two 50w Aura shakers fed by a 100 wpc amp I got for $30 on Craigslist and they shake my couch big time. Also, I have two 25w shakers on my gaming chair (also 100 wpc receiver) and my vision literally blurs from vibration when I'm driving a tank or helicopter in some games. You might also want to do a price comparison -- $40 per Aura shaker + ~$50 old/used receiver vs. $180 per Buttkicker + $330 amp.
